1. A method, comprising:
- receiving, by a system including a processor, media content comprising a play sequence and settings of a recorded gaming session of a gaming console;
providing, by the system, an overlay combined with a presentation of media content at each of a plurality of computing devices to illustrate a collection of user-generated comments temporally associated via a time line with portions of the play sequence that are presented, wherein the time line is included in the overlay;
receiving, by the system, selections to drill down on the settings at the portions of the play sequence that are presented;
receiving, by the system, wireless communication signals from a first communication device of the plurality of computing devices, wherein the wireless communication signals comprise an internet address link to first user-generated comments that are captured at the first communication device;
extracting, by the system, the first user-generated comments via the internet address link; and
collecting, by the system, the user-generated comments from the plurality of computing devices, wherein the user-generated comments are associated with the settings that are subject to the drill down, wherein the user-generated comments comprise the first user generated comments that are received from the first communication devicewherein the user-generated comments are further associated with a range of the media content comprising a first time prior to the user-generated comments and a second time after the user-generated comments, and wherein the first time and the second time are set by one of the plurality of computing devices.
